Thank you to the wonderful @Titjes and fantastic @DanEnglish for kindly continuing the Badge of Honour series this year. The series can be found here:

I have the honour of posting the seventh badge, entitled ‘100 Million Quidders’. So without further ado…

Paris Saint Germain like spending money. They toss it around like it’s going out of fashion, trying to sign a functioning squad that has yet to win the Champions League. In fact, they own the two most expensive players ever, signing Neymar from Barcelona and Mbappe from Monaco for £198m and £163m respectively.

This challenge is to continue this trend and will last three seasons.

You’ll need to take over PSG and make sure that your currency is in ‘UK Pound Sterling’. You’ll then need to sign a player for over £100m in cash (you can throw a swap in there too, but the cash cannot be less).

Season 1’s score will be all the goals and assists for Neymar, Mbappe, and Player 1.

For season 2 you’ll then sign another player for over £100m in cash (again, including a swap is fine). Season 2’s score will be goals and assists for Neymar, Mbappe, Player 1, and Player 2.

Season 3 will involve you, yep, signing yet another player for £100m (again, swap fine as long as cash is at least £100m). And, yes indeed, your season 3 score will be goals and assists for Neymar, Mbappe, Player 1, Player 2, and Player 3.

Any other transfers throughout this challenge are allowed.

The benchmark is to win the Champions League at least once in the three seasons.

Your final score will be the totals of seasons 1, 2, and 3. I can imagine the totals will be good and should start people thinking about different methodologies!

Any tactics or formations are allowed, as long as they are your own. No unlockables but any manager reputation and badge is allowed.

Thanks for reading and good luck!

Currently 2/3 through season one, and I've just realised that points are awarded for Neymar, Mbappe, and Player 1. And not Neymar, Messi, and Player 1. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Love that you’re giving it a go, but that’s a wonderful gaffe! Brilliant. How you found it otherwise?

Just finished season 1.  I think if I had read the challenge rules properly my £100m player would have scored considerably more goals. He finished with 1 goal less than Messi but topped the assists for the season so at least there's that.

I made a bit of a gamble with the signing. He's a world class striker but playing as an Attacking Midfielder. Don't know if I should stick him up top this next season or keep him where he is and buy another Forward to replace Messi?

Finished. This was a fun 3 seasons.

Totals:
Mbappe: Goals: 45. Assists: 41
Neymar: Goals: 38. Assists: 52
Player 1: Harry Kane: Goals: 62. Assists: 34
Player 2: Lautaro Martinez: Goals: 69. Assists: 17
Player 3: Jude Bellingham: Goals: 17. Assists: 7

Totals: Goals: 231. Assists: 151.

Cost of Kane, Martinez, and Bellingham: £520m. Bargain!

I enjoyed this challenge. Highlights of the challenge include Kane's remarkable goals and assists tally despite playing him almost exclusively in Attacking Midfield. The gamble paid off. Also, Bellingham scoring 17 in one season, playing from Box to Box Midfield role. I was expecting more assists than goals but happy to forgive him for the low tally due to his goals.

Anyway, proofs below and also screenshot of the formation used and regular starting 11 for the final season.

(At the end of Season 3 I qualified for the Club World Cup. I have not played these matches)

Well done! Great player choices. 

I'm currently in the 3rd season. It's a very fun challenge. I've used one of the players you chose too. Won't give away which one yet though. 😊

Is it a visual bug or so that your players signed for PSG2? Just noticed this 😅 (if so, maybe post it in bug section) 🙂

Not sure. But I know that at various points in the season I had demoted them due to injuries. Could be something to do with that. I can't remember the sequence of events though.
